Singapore Airlines and bmi launch new link

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has said it has launched a new codeshare relationship with Star Alliance partner bmi.

Bmi, Britain's second largest full service scheduled airline, operates 2,000 flights a week to nearly 30 destinations in Europe, mostly from London's Heathrow Airport, and it has also introduced services to the US.

The agreement allows SIA passengers the flexibility to connect from any of its thrice-daily Singapore-London services to five other European cities, namely Belfast, Brussels, Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

According to SIA, the codeshare arrangements with bmi will extend its network to 34 European cities.
